We had a five week pose in which the model was lit from below. All the shadow shapes were reversed and so the students had to record these shapes and trust that they would come together and make form. Another challenge was the half lit area. Students had to work with subtle modulations rather than obvious contrast.

Today I was on the second sitting of a figure painting and I focused on the subtle temperature changes. There aren't many extreme value jumps, rather an infinite number of prismatic grays that indicate the transitions in form.
